OP, ^^^ these, IMO. Go for it and don't look back. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering 'what if?'

That is so not true! The good-looking, smart and hard working women tend to have a harder time finding the right man.

I agree there's about a 99.9% probability. I'm gonna vote "no" on going back. This whole idea sounds more like a chick flick plot than real world.

O.P., we've all had that feeling at one time or another.

That's not always the case. I was between boyfriends, dates and spent my evenings alone listening to music, watching programs on PBS and reading when my future husband decided that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. I was 27 years old, considered quite attractive, working, dressed well, and had no debt. OK, $2000 worth of medical expenses I was making payments on. Did I mention that I was tall, slender, had blonde hair, blue eyes and a brain?

I had pretty much given up on men. They either wanted to marry me after the second date, or tell me they were never going to marry or hang around for 30 years. I appreciated the honesty.

* He wasn't the most handsome guy I'd ever dated, but he was beautiful to me.

Gerania was landed by the smart, funny, capable guy when she was 28 years old.

Her being currently attached has come to mind , which is something I can deal with , although I will admit it will be a tad odd stopping there after the fact , however , I'd be fine with just continuing to speak and keep it moving. The first trip out there , I picked the minnows up prior to heading to the fishing spot , after a luckless 2 hours , I decided to get something to eat. From start to finish , the trip took about 5 hours , but has been reduced to 3. Maybe this anathema is the result of being single for 10 years , and telling myself that I would be content remaining so. I appreciate the replies , and got a good laugh out of Mr. Chickpea's response. Oddly enough , HHGTTG is one of my top 5 movies , and I can guarantee there was no desire to mate with the minnows. I have a psychological tic that sees me go to extreme lengths to keep them alive as long as possible , even stopping along the way to get water from lakes and streams. Anyway , I've already figured out a course of action , and will keep in mind that I have everything to gain , and nothing to lose. Thanks again.


Lastly , I have no plans to victimize anyone , Mrs. Rasa. I was merely stating facts , and have a -100 tolerance for violence , especially against women who are trying to live life like the rest of us.

Remember: They trade up not down
